Sacramento has failed. There are two main weapons in the assault on California’s neighborhoods: New laws and new regulations.
Sacramento lawmakers have passed over 400 laws in the last eight years alone, stripping away local control over development and allowing large developers to bypass nearly all local rules. That’s right — over 400 laws! These laws supersede the local authority almost entirely. There is literally nothing cities can do.
What have those 400 laws done?
Build luxury homes.
